        I tried to restart the service yesterday and did not solve the problem. Restart the system to work.I have problems after about 20 hours of running.

            @yon-0 a restart using the GUI doesn't work, you need to stop the service, wait 5 seconds and start the service.

            Or script it using cron, as suggested.

                  My ISP disabled Ipv6 last month, so I am using HE tunnel now.
                  Same problem as TS mentioned — SPAM and drops after some hours.

                      I am not sure that my ISP native Ipv6 have been working, so I don't think it's HE related. I am parsing tons of syslog messages now, let me see, if I find something, I'll let you know.

                          my isp has ipv6, no tunnel. i don't think that matters. at this point i think everyone is affected.

                            nope, nothing to do with tunnel, it's radvd that is broken

                              According to my logs there was no any problem with ISP Ipv6, but it was special case — configured to track PPPoE interface and used stateless DHCP router mode, DHCPv6 server not enabled.

                                i put here a workaround that seems to work for me

                                [2.5.0-DEVELOPMENT][root@pfSense.localdomain]/root: crontab -l
@hourly killall radvd && sleep 5 && /usr/local/sbin/radvd -p /var/run/radvd.pid -C /var/etc/radvd.conf -m syslog

                                Sorry for dumb question but where does it stored? I have executed this command, but I don't see anything similar in cron package. I can not also find any modified file on a system.

                                  contrab -l (list)
                                  crontab -e (edit)
                                  from the terminal
                                  you need to edit crontab with

                                  crontab -e

                                  then copy/past what i have in my crontab

                                  @hourly killall radvd && sleep 5 && /usr/local/sbin/radvd -p /var/run/radvd.pid -C /var/etc/radvd.conf -m syslog

                                  or you can install the cron pkg available in the gui and add

                                  killall radvd && sleep 5 && /usr/local/sbin/radvd -p /var/run/radvd.pid -C /var/etc/radvd.conf -m syslog

                                  what does it do: kill radvd & wait 5 seconds & restart radvd

                                    Thank you for clarification. 👍 Okay, in that case, then, my bad. I just was too lazy to run it from terminal and used GUI command prompt, stupid me... It does not work that way. ☺

                                    Since I have cron GUI package installed, I'll try to make it over GUI.

                                      Does anybody else with HE tunnel have those messages in the log?

                                      Aug 30 05:40:28 	php 	378 	rc.bootup: Error starting gateway monitor for HENETV6_TUNNELV6

                                      I don't see any side effect, looks like gateway monitor works with no problem at least in GUI it shows correct data.

                                            Have seen this on the previous week, but it does not look promising. No answers from developer, no code changes, nothing.
